Weather in May
Temperature
The onset of May notes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.3°C (82.9°F), subtly shifted from April's 27.7°C (81.9°F). An average temperature of 25°C (77°F) is logged during the nights of May, a small step down from daytime highs.Heat index
The heat index value for May is estimated at a hot 33°C (91.4°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
